Regenwald 2011 is a contemporary re-interpretation of David Tudor’s series of compositions from the 1970′s entitled "Rainforest". It uses various types of sonic transducers to play live sounds through various resonant objects in the space, as well as through architectural features of the space itself. Additionally, an 8×8 matrix mixer allows the sound from any of the objects to be sent to any other node in the network, making the whole piece an experiment in generative chaos.
Regenwald 2011 has been developed in a workshop format with up to 8 participants over a period of several days prior to the festival. The resulting work shifts between relatively static installation-like moments and performative sections where the artists seek new relationships with the objects and each other. The audience is free to move around the performance space, engage in conversations and explore the resonant objects, thus adding new life to the rainforest.
